Description
Villa Alcuzcuz is a beautifully renovated stunning property nestled in the exclusive residential gated community of “La Reserva de Alcuzcuz” in the municipality of Benahavis.
This is a very charming and romantic Mediterranean property. It is surrounded by an astonishing wild nature, within a six hectare landscape, a south oriented dominant position in front of the Gibraltar rock and the Moroccan coast. The property epitomises the Andalusian spirit, with a very beautiful villa surrounded by olive, fruit trees and Spanish fountains. Every built element looks in harmony with its natural environment.
The land where the house is located has been subject to a process of increasing environmental protection. In 1992, it was included in the list of natural habitats to be preserved, and in 2006 the European Commission included it in the list of Sites of Community Importance (SCI) of the Mediterranean region. In 2015 the regional government of Andalusia declared as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC Sierra Bermeja y Real).
The single‐family home was designed by a local architect and built in 2002 under the direct supervision of the renowned international designer Jaime Parladé, whose personal style can be felt throughout the building (which is mirroring Parladé’s own aristocratic villa in the immediate neighbourhood).
Villa Alcuzcuz is a two‐story house which has a traditional Andalusian style of enchanting simplicity, with Arabic tile roofs, colourful wooden beam ceilings, porches and wooden windows and doors.
During the last two years since the house has been acquired by the new owner, the garden and surrounds have been completely renovated with a wonderful contemporary feel.
The Ground floor includes a central area with a double‐height lobby, guest toilet, a large living area including a sitting room with a chimney, and a large contemporary open kitchen with dining room.
On this same floor, there is a large double bedroom with a full en suite bathroom and dressing room; there is also an office which overlooks the newly designed “Romantic Garden” with Andalusian basins/fountains and fruit trees.
There are also two private studios on this floor which are connected to the main house but also have separate entrances. Both studios have a double bed, en suite bathroom, living area and kitchen, these studios are perfect for family members who prefer a little more privacy.
The first floor includes a large library and two large bedrooms with private en suite bathrooms.
